Start by cleaning the sugarcane stalks. Use a knife or peeler to remove the tough outer layer of the sugarcane, revealing the inner flesh. Cut the sugarcane into 4-6 inch pieces for easy handling.
Juice the sugarcane using a sugarcane juicer. If you do not have a sugarcane juicer, you can opt to use a heavy-duty blender, adding a small amount of water to help the blending process. Strain the blended mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to extract the juice.
Once you have the sugarcane juice, squeeze the juice of the lemon into the mixture to add a refreshing tang. Stir to combine.
Add the mint leaves to the sugarcane juice. Lightly bruise the mint leaves before adding to release their aroma and flavor.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the prepared sugarcane juice over the ice. Stir well to mix the flavors.
Serve immediately while chilled, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired.
